@SHHSforGirls have just been announced as the London Regional Champions of @theESU's Public Speaking Competition!! Manon, Olivia and Charlotte, we are absolutely delighted and we can't wait to watch you perform in the National Final! 🥳
This is so true! The buzz and excitement when students compete in person is simply irreplaceable; a Zoom room of muted black squares just doesn’t come close. Hoping that @lsesudebate’s junior competition stays in person in January, as scheduled - our first since March 2020!
Good luck to the three @SHHSforGirls teams competing at UCL Juniors today! The first motion: ‘This house believes that the rise of K-pop has done more harm than good’.
Delighted that an @SHHSforGirls team has made it through to Round 2 of @theESU's Public Speaking Competition! Well done to Emma (Chair), Sophie (Questioner) & Chiara (Speaker). Chiara's great speech was on the topic: 'Any book worth banning is a book worth reading'. 👏🥳
Proud to be working at a school where this could happen - it was a privilege to be able to talk directly to the whole school on the importance of free speech
@OrleyFarmSchool took part in a debating competition on Monday against 168 other students. One of our teams were joint winners (Reya, Aaliyah and Amaya in Y6). All had a fun introduction into debating! Thank you to @SHHSforgirls for hosting. #OFSFlexibilityofmind
This Monday and Tuesday, @SHHSforGirls has witnessed something of a Debating frenzy, both at lunch and after school. I wondered how many debate speeches had happened in the building in 48 hours, and the results are in...
Congratulations to the winners of the @SHHSforGirls Autumn Debating Competition! In the KS3 stream, the joint winners were @ChilternA 1 and @LaSainteUnion 1 and in the KS4-5 stream, @NorthwoodGDST 2 and @QPCS. Well done, everyone! 👏👏👏
My school are hosting a debating competition tonight. I’ll be there with our Year 6 pupils and my husband is bringing a team from his school. I am not particularly competitive but it is on.
A huge thank you to the Debate Team @SHHSforGirls for a brilliant evening of U11 Debate. The feedback was thoughtful and student-led adjudication inspiring. Same again next year please? Our two teams @VillagePrep loved the experience!
CONGRATULATIONS to Olivia & Sophia for WINNING the Gold Final of Edinburgh Juniors! A huge well done to the @SHHSforGirls speakers who took all top 5 individual speaker spots, out of 136, too: Molly (1st); Olivia & Leila (joint 2nd); Sophia (4th) and Eleanor (5th). What a day!
...And here are some action shots from our earlier outdoor adventures! Nothing gets in the way of a debater with a point to prove. Very proud of all 12 SHHS competitors today.
